Chapter 1016 The most correct decision
Flying from the slightly cool southern hemisphere to the hot northern hemisphere, Zhang Chu felt that the clothes in his suitcase could be thrown away, and it was not a thing of the same season at all.
Los Angeles Airport is as lively and bustling as ever, with passengers coming and going, and many reporters are waiting for the stars with long guns and short cannons.
But no one paid attention to the Asian young man in front of him who was pushing the box around. Even though the Hollywood entertainment reporter had amazing eyesight and could see through stars like Leonardo from various disguises, not many outsiders like Zhang Chu knew about it.
The famous fan story and Google Translation News a few days ago made the name "Zhang Chu" famous, not that many people would know about it.
"Where is the person who picked up the plane? Could it be that the pigeons were put out?"
Zhang Chu stood outside the exit and was waiting anxiously. An obese black policeman outside looked at him from time to time, as if he was alert to something.
This time the itinerary should have been arranged by Hanlin Culture Media, but its agency only has business in China and is basically unable to catch it abroad. It’s okay to help book a hotel, but the rest can’t help.
He happened to come to Random House for a signing event, so Random House North American branch couldn't wait to take on the job.
Usually, Randon Bookstore is too far away from Zhang Chu, so it is not convenient to contact each other. This time, I finally waited for the stars and the moon to wait for Zhang Chu to come to the United States, so of course I had to treat him warmly!
What's more, this is originally one of the services of Random House, and other writers usually enjoy this kind of treatment.
A top best-selling writer like him, any publishing company will treat you in the most valuable way, a money tree and a treasure trove!
The midsummer sunlight shines on your body. Zhang Chu can only turn on his phone in the strong light after putting on his sunglasses. He doesn't want to wait here and is about to call the contact person in Random House and say it, and then take a taxi to the hotel by himself.
As a result, before he could dial out the phone, someone patted his shoulder, which made Zhang Chu extremely alert!
I heard that the security of the United States is very bad, and robbery and theft often happens. His first reaction is to put away his phone and cover the bag on his chest with his other hand.
Under the bright world, there are policemen over there. Are they in trouble?
"Hi, I've made you wait for a long time."
The familiar voice made Zhang Chu feel alert in his throat relax, and he screamed, and he was a false alarm.
Turning around, the decadent figure with dark golden short hair on the opposite side was Blair!
Zhang Chu opened his arms and gave him a hug, and then said, "I thought I had encountered a robbery just now. Thank God, you finally came."
Blair spread his hands and apologized, "Sorry, I'm not familiar with the road conditions in Los Angeles. I got off the wrong road above the highway and finally arrived after a round trip. Let's get in the bus first. Let's talk about it. It can't be parked here for too long."
"So, why was it you who came to pick me up?"
Blair was supposed to be working in New York at this time, but he came to Los Angeles to serve as a guide for Zhang Chu. The most terrifying thing is that this guide has no idea about Los Angeles at all!
A cheating product, encountering a peerless cheating product!
Blair put Zhang Chu's suitcase in the trunk, then returned to the driver's seat and explained: "You are the highest-selling writer in North America this year. When you are going to sign here for a sale, I am not ready to ask for leave. As a result, the leader asked me to get out of Los Angeles immediately, for fear that you will be in contact with other publishing companies."
The publishing industry is also under competitive pressure. This year, Zhang Chu used the "Da Vinci Code" to slap the list in the first two months, and in the next few months, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy dominated the New York Times bestseller rankings respectively.
This is not the end. Books are a long-term sales job. Now that the sales volume is successful, it may be even more successful with the blessing of movies in the future!
"Don't worry, your Random House has a strong distribution network, and I have no idea to change for the time being."
Zhang Chu looked at the watch and found that it was still New Zealand's time, but now he was too lazy to change it, so he had to find Los Angeles in the clock of his phone and change it automatically.
Blair nodded and said, "I'm very happy to hear this sentence. I guess my boss will be happier. You never imagined that everyone attaches importance to you. You are simply a natural writer!"
When he was transferred from London to New York, Blair felt like he was going crazy.
There was no familiar writer, all of whom were unfamiliar environments, so he traveled thousands of miles to Yanjing to sign two books, "Detective Sherlock" and "The Fantasy Drifting of Pi". This was probably the most correct and wisest decision he had ever made in his life!
These two works are only a small hit at best, but the works that followed are out of control and become the most dazzling star in the North American publishing industry.
The spacious highway is full of various vehicles. Zhang Chu looked out the window and said, "How did you arrange your itinerary today? Do you know which studio to go to the Allen Show? If you don't know, we still have to set up a navigation."
"Don't worry, I've already visited the road yesterday. I started recording at 1:00 pm. Now I can take you to the hotel and have a quick lunch. I don't know if the Allen Show has notified you. This time, your talk show will be broadcast for less than 10 minutes, but it may take an hour to record, which will facilitate editing of related materials. The signing will be scheduled at 4:00 pm. You must not know how popular the scene is. We will pass by the signing location later. You will know."
Blair was still fully prepared and would not mess up the matter.
Zhang Chu stretched and responded as he yawned: "I am born to work hard. I hope everything goes well today, and there are not too few people coming."
"You really underestimated the influence of your work in North America. I came here before at 9 a.m., and there were already many people queuing over there!"
"real?"
"If you don't believe it, just watch it yourself. Do you think the sales of "The Lord of the Rings" in North America were all bought by aliens?"
The Grove Mall in the heart of Los Angeles has the most complete range of goods. The double-decker retro sightseeing buses on the street are full of tourists, and the dancing fountain attracts many passers-by to stop and watch.
"See, there are people inside and outside the barnes & noble bookstore. What do you think they are waiting for?"
"Are you waiting for me?"
Zhang Chu was secretly happy.
"That's right, the people sitting in Starbucks next to the bookstore are all your readers. They have been waiting for you for a long time. After seeing our publicity, many people drove here for hundreds of kilometers!"
"I hope that which bookstore can accommodate a lot of people, otherwise it will be troublesome."
When Zhang Chu wrote these books, he knew that they would definitely be very popular, but now it is more shocking to feel intuitively!
